Removing ID from Filename when Drag&Drop Files --> Distributing IncludeIDsInNamesInIDView via Custom Vault Data

Hi all,

when dragging&dropping files from the M-Files client to the desktop or into an E-Mail, the ID name of the file is added to the filename. There are a couple articles describing how to disable this with this registry key: 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Motive\M-Files\version\Client\MFClient]
"IncludeIDsInNamesInIDView"=dword:00000000

I am trying to distribute this setting via Custom Vault Data but I am unable to set it. This is what I tried:


Can somebody help with this configuration to successfully distribute this key? Or can this key only get distributed via GPO?

Thanks,
Beat
